Stop the ACTA

Posted By Max on August 9th, 2010

The ACTA is an international trade agreement currently negociated by the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries, whose aim is to enforce copyright and tackle counterfeited goods (hence its acronym: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement).

The main problem with this treaty is that all the negociations are done secretely. Leaked documents show that one of the major goal of the treaty is to force signatory countries into implementing anti file-sharing policies under the form of three-strikes schemes and net filtering practices.

So, why should you be worried about ACTA?
  • It allows them to censor the internet.
  • It allows them to search your iPods and computers randomly without giving a reason.
  • It allows them to confiscate your iPods and computers without giving a reason.
  • It allows them to monitor what you do online.
  • It allows them to block websites deemed “unacceptable”, without limit.
  • It will ban p2p technology, such as BitTorrent (even for legal uses such as distributing Linux ISOs)
  • It will allow ISPs to PERMANENTLY ban you from using the internet, without a trial.
  • It will allow arrests based on the content you search.
  • In a nutshell, they’re basically taking your freedom and raping it in the ass.

SoundFrag 1.1

Posted By Max on March 31st, 2010

Hey all!

After submitting SoundFrag to FreewarePPC.net I received some helpful feedback on the project. SoundFrag 1.1 addresses all of the issues in the previous version. It allows you to install it to anywhere on your device.  There have been varying results on devices with WM6 and up. I can not guarantee that it will work on WM6 devices. It also includes a fix for VGA devices so that the background fills the screen.

Please report the success or failure with your device so that I can keep making this better.

EDIT: CAB file has been fixed and now includes the shortcut.
